Phoenix Crankshafts (International) Limited was an apparently largely non trading company owned by the same people who owned Phoenix Design and Engineering Limited. It's not a "new company" and has been around since the 1980's. Phoenix Design and Engineering Limited was the main trading entity that went bust. It also dated back to the 1980's.
Phoenix Crankshafts Limited was set up by someone unconnected with either company shortly before Phoenix Design and Engineering Limited called in the liquidators. The fact that the person who set up Phoenix Crankshafts Limited ended up being the buyer of the assets of the failed company may well be down to foresight and wisdom.

The Statement of Affairs for the old Company makes for sorry reading.
Sorry mostly for HMRC.
The hit taken by trade creditors seems reasonably small in comparison, but painful all the same if you are on the receiving end.
